The VETs use parallel business and engineering courses to simultaneously createa marketable prototype and a sound business plan. The next phase of the program is todemonstrate the new product and business plan to industry professionals, venture capitalist, andother interested parties via a business plan competition and senior design conference.Products that are not ready for a commercial market, but have shown potential forcommercialization can be assigned to another Venture Enhancement Team the following year.Finally, products that are ready for commercialization are awarded space in our businessincubator.

Studentsin the E-Scholars program develop their entrepreneurial mindset. They learn how to come upwith innovative ideas and develop realistic business plans around them. Through requireddomestic and international travel they also learn how to do business anywhere in the world.E-Scholars commit to an academic curricular program, taking three three-credit entrepreneurshipcourses during their junior year.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competitive Activities on Engineering Students’ Entrepreneurial IntentionAbstract：An increased number of technological innovation and entrepreneurial competitiveactivities have been organized in engineering schools and beyond to raise students’entrepreneurial awareness and cultivate relevant skills. In this study, a mixed method researchbased on Planned Behavior Theory is being used to explore the outcomes of innovation andentrepreneurial competitions, in particular the influence of engaging in these competitiveactivities on engineering students’ entrepreneurial intention.

The program was then presented througha variety of means. The program was primarily marketed by “word of mouth”. Briefpresentations were given to students

These voids in a region’sventuring ecosystem discourage many technologists within universities, and other institutions,from embarking upon the commercialization of innovations.Given these impediments, to achieve their most effective role in the innovation economy,research universities require new, more aggressive models of commercialization. Traditionalmodels of Intellectual Property (IP) licensing are insufficient alone to unlock the untappedcommercial opportunities stemming from scientific and technical discoveries on campus.One of the most promising paths forward
